My goal is just to have a community where people can go and see what new game news is out for the day and comment on it.
Other communities:
If they made the same exact game as Skyrim, but in a modern engine that wasn't built on a sandy foundation, it would already be a better game.
It shouldn't be hard to replicate the good while removing the bad. And yet I've yet to see it actually happen.
I'm pretty sure Microsoft invited the comparison by letting people believe this would be "their Elder Scrolls" before they just bought Elder Scrolls.
I'm gonna compare it to garbage if the rumors of the shitty port job hold true...
Targeting 30 FPS doesn't mean it's a shitty port.
For console maybe...
So get it on PC. That's where I'll be playing it. Early reports from games media I follow have already said they played it on PC at higher than 30 FPS.
I'm basing my information on the developers own words...they said the target was 30fps... which is lazy in this day and age.
And of course I'll play it on PC... I'd not waste my time on console.

Get it on pc so you can play it on the deck 👌
That's one option I suppose lol
I didn't disagree with you on what they said they were targeting, so I'm not sure why you phrased that way. It's not lazy; it's a trade off that you disagree with, but it happens every console generation like clockwork. You can push graphical effects on any machine until it hits 30 FPS, and this is where they ended up on this set of hardware.
Sorry for the confusion, my response was based on your information from social media reviews. I'm working on finding the exact article I'm referring to.
If you're gonna make an open world first person fantasy game, it's gonna get compared to Skyrim no matter who you are
Weird. It reminded me of Outer Worlds (an Obsidian game)
which was like fallout which is already sci-fi skyrim, but with characters and plot inspired by firefly to add that teaspoon of space cowboy to make the medicine go down or something
I dropped it after the first planet, it just never really clicked. I'm hoping Avowed doesn't give me the same reaction.
Decent game but very short and not much to do in it
I liked it a lot, although the DLCs were far more memorable than the base game.
Ah, didn't know it had DLC. I just picked up a base copy from my local library
Lmao is it built on an engine that was a decade old two decades ago and held together with duct tape and a rainbow coalition of unofficial patches? I think Avowed will do just fine.
The original Unreal Engine is from '95
Unreal 5 is only 2 years old.
Creation 2 is 1 year old.
thats too old im not playing on that crap
Skyrim is one of the best games. Avowed looks similar but prettier and less janky. The comparison is giving it positive attention.
I always felt like Skyrim was... fine. People lost their minds about it but I never thought it was actually that good.
I played it at a lan party when it first came out. We all had a blast and after a day of playing we had wildly different stories and experiences.
Its an awesome game, and with mods you could get another games worth of fun out of it IMHO, but I don't think its the end game of games like they treat it. It can be better (mods show just some of that potential), and they're are other games.
Yeah, vanilla was kinda meh. It was hilariously breakable and infinitely moddable though.
I would say the same of Tainted Grail, honestly. That game's combat honestly clicks pretty well imo. The two-handing in that game is fantastic.
